They bring fun to a room.  But.....I find that the gold bottom is kind of cheap looking.  They have some thicker "painted" spots and some unevenness in the gold paint...... I feel like for the price, it should be a better quality for the stands.  The feather shades are so cute, I really love them.  Another to note not pictured in the model pics: there is a cord that runs from the top of the stand to wall outlet.  You see the cord and I wish you did not.  I'm happy with them overall.
